Unconstrained plan, adopted by the Northern Va jurisdictions. Currently being updated to extend to The plan received input from local jurisdictions. Is an effort for NOVA District only (does not include MD and DC). Includes horizon years 2010 and Includes elements from local, County transportation plans and additional elements. Doing a “lite” update moving to 2025 to match the CLRP horizon year of Developed by TCC executive committee, a NOVA regional committee of elected officials and CTB members with VDOT and County staff support. In update, use 2005 as base, with 2015 and Coordinated with CLRP.
CLRP
Financially Constrained Long-Range Plan. MWCOG regional plan. Air quality analysis required to meet conformity for air quality. Updated from a fiscal standpoint every 3 years. Analysis years 2005, 2015, and Beginning to update later this year, with an approved version in Approved by TPB and then FHWA, FTA, EPA. The model is run each year with the current proposed network as part of the TIP.
TIP
TIP is a 6 year programming document, showing proposed improvements over the next 6 years. Fiscally constrained, and must also meet air quality conformity. This is a subset of the CLRP and outlines funding flow and sources.

5. Life of a “Typical” VDOT Project
Planning $
The Virginia Transportation Development Plan is a funding document that shows current year allocations, and projected revenues and allocations for the next 6 years. Distinct project entries are included for Interstate, Urban, and Primary projects, and for projects that receive certain types of funding, such as Toll roads and Regional STP monies. The projects are split into 2 broad categories, feasibility studies, and a capital improvement program.
To move into the capital improvement program, a project should include funding allocations that will result in project implementation.

Design $
Once a project is in the “Plan”, funding is authorized, and the feasibility study and/or design can begin.

Planning
Design $
Following an opportunity for public involvement, and approval by the Commonwealth Transportation Board, right of way acquisition and relocation of utilities begin. This phase of the project presents difficulties in that right of way costs often spiral upwards, and the number and location of utilities can be difficult to anticipate. As an example, at Gainesville interchange,
Of course, concurrently with right of way acquisition and utility relocation, project design and costs are being refined.

Finally, construction begins. For many typical projects, 1 or 2 construction seasons are adequate. Factors include project complexity, and maintenance of traffic issues.
